2007 will be the fourth consecutive year of Veolia Environnement's commitment to its sustainable development awareness program. Entitled "Tales around the world - Life stories of people with nature", this year's initiative will involve children from all over the world by using drawings and short stories to share with us their feelings about the relationship people have with nature. With "Tales around the world" children allow the earth to have its say: what does it think of the depletion of natural resources? What does it think of human activity and its effects?

A prize-giving ceremony and exhibition of children's projects will be held at the Musée du quai Branly in Paris on June 1, 2007.
